School of Pharmacy

The School of Pharmacy of the Faculty of Medical Sciences at UWI St. Augustine held its oath-taking ceremony for graduates on June 29, 2017 at the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex. Families, friends, faculty and staff witnessed the solemn promise by 47 graduates of the BSc Pharmacy degree programme to uphold professional conduct and protect patients from harm.

The feature address was presented by Mrs. Andrea Grimes, Principal Pharmacist, who represented the Minister of Health at the occasion. She stressed the need for pharmacists to uphold ethical standards, particularly to minimize the emergence of antimicrobial resistance through responsible prescription-based dispensing and patient education.
